showing fs modules in --version ?

Someone brought up the idea of --version showing fs-backends the same
way we show available RA layers. It seems like a good idea to me.

For example, what if ra_local had more sub-items:

$ svn --version
svn, version 1.2.0 (dev build)
    compiled Mar 23 2005, 09:58:58

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_dav : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV (DeltaV)
protocol.
   - handles 'http' schema
   - handles 'https' schema
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network
protocol.
   - handles 'svn' schema
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
   - handles 'file' schema
        - fs_base: can access BerkeleyDB repositories
        - fs_fs: can access FSFS repositories

And similarly, svnadmin (and svnlook) --version could show something
similar:

$ svnadmin --version
svnadmin, version 1.2.0 (dev build)
    compiled Mar 23 2005, 09:58:58

The following filesystem back-end implementations are available:

* fs_base: can access BerkeleyDB repositories
* fs_fs: can access FSFS repositories

Might this be a nice thing to add?
